That is one high HDL number!!! Wowza. My doc likes my LDL below 100 and last time my wasn't so I'm curious to see if it changed when I get my bloodwork done again next month. I've been on a statin for years. Familial high cholesterol.

I use the Iranian Equation - works better when the Tri's are less than 100. Inputting your #'s gives a 'true' LDL of 112. Take a peek at this article:http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/thread4723.htmlAlso - since there's both good and bad LDL, it's good to know the difference/get a test that will determine what yours is, or use the Iranian Equation. You can already tell from your ratios that you are rocking it. Don't sweat the total CHO. There's so much more to the heart disease picture. Keep up the fantastic work!

Thank you Ann for sharing this. I had read that Gary Taubes results were done by a quack doctor and then I lost faith. Like was he hiding something? Then I have some life stress going on and so after the Fat Fast...I was seriously scared that I was secretly killing myself with fat. After this breakfast of eggs in butter with a slice of turkey pastrami on top...I am back in the Low carb game.

Good for you Anne, I have to admit I don't know too much about this stuff but I am a learnin. Thanks for your kind comment Anne...I learned portion control in the hospital....and all is great. Keep up all your effort, you inspire.

You know Anne, your meals sound awesome. I am such a meat lover. Keep up the great work. My numbers were pretty good too except my thyroid, rechecking that in a couple of months.Take care Anne and have a blessed evening.

My HDL is really high and my triglycerides really low (39), so my doc was not at all concerned that my LDL was 120. Plus, unless you get the differentiation of what type of LDL you have, it's only a number.

that's what she said!

Eat Real Food!

From Atkins 72 (reprinted in 1990)

"Say this over and over to yourself until you've got it through your rebellious head: My tendency to overweight is one sign of a chronic metabolic disorder. My physiology doesn't handle certain kinds of foods, as slim physiolgies do. I mustn't try to compare my eating habits to those who have never had a weight problem. Not now. Not ever."

Yes - I AM a Nurse.

And yes, LoCarb works for me!

The lower, the better, it seems....

Times are changing - thank goodness - and we know more about diet and obesity than ever before. The time is coming when Saturated Fats will not be regarded as "evil," and Carbs will be looked at in a different light.

But, until that happy day, do your research, and see what works best for you!
